Abstract

A video surveillance system (10) includes clients (12) coupled to servers (20) using a network (24). The clients (12) generate digital files (14) that may include data (82), video (72), and audio (74). Using the network (24), the clients (12) communicate the digital files (14) to the servers (20) for monitoring, analyzing, and reporting on the financial transactions occurring at the clients (12). The video surveillance system (10) also supports one-way or two-way audio/video conferencing between the clients (12) and the servers (20) using the network (24).
